Ignition relay or fuse could be the problem. When you turn the key to start do you hear a fuel pump kicking on and or do you have spark when you hot wire the starter (I know it's hard to check while trying to start it)? You can email me back and I might be able to pinpoint it more.

sounds like the button has shorted out,, pop it out and jumper the 2 wires that go to it, if the trunk opens replace the button, if not,, your getting voltage feedback to the button and it will eventually burn out

You definitely have a faulty trunk actuator. The trunk actuator controls the lock and unlocking movement. If it's faulty it won't work, you may just here a noise on the button but a faulty actuator won't open the trunk. I strongly suggest that you have it replaced to resolve the problem.

Check to see if the fuel pump runs for a few seconds when you first turn the key to the "run" position. You should be able to hear it if you put your ear to the gas cap while someone turns the key. It will run for 3 or 4 seconds and then stop. Check for spark. Easiest way it to hook a timing light to any wire and turn the engine over. There are many reasons for no spark. Most common being the coil, sensors, MAF etc. If the fuel pump isn't running. Check fuses, wires, and finally... change the fuel pump if all else fails. You would be well advised to find one at an auto wrecker if you can. They are expensive.

When you press the trunk open button, do you hear any "release" noise come from the trunk area? The issue may be a bad battery in the key fob OR there could be an issue with the transmitter located inside the vehicle. Do the doors lock and unlock properly? is the vehicle equipped with security or immobilizer? please advise

you should hear a click from the solenoid when you apply the brakes. If your brake lights don't work, your shift lock release won't either. There is a bypass method for emergencies in your owner manual. Check fuse for brake lights. And switch on brake pedal

If you hear the sound of the electric latch switch, then it's working but stuck somehow. Just put the key in the switch and turn it to the right and then pull up the trunk or ask someone to help you. it will open. I tried it today and it opened with me. It was stuck from inside by some kind of a broken plastic pieces. Just removed it and now it's working fine. good luck

you can find the fuse for the cig lighter in the trunk, on the passenger side. it should be a 20 amp fuse. you can get all the info from the owner's manual. if you dont have it then check out p. 453 and 454.. number 20 is the cig lighter fuse. check it out in the trunk and see if it is burned or not. if not then just check out the compartment next to the gas pedal.. open it and see if any wires are cut.. also check out the wires going in the cig lighter. if you want, just push it out hard and move it sideways at the same time.... if any of these steps don't work then go ask your dealer.... hope this help dude....

it may not have one! A lot of newer cars dont. It might have a button on the keyless entry remote to pop the trunk if you hold the button down. otherwise ther is a button inside the car to pop it. either on the drivers door pannel, in the glove box, or in the left lower dash area.
